How to convert the latex file into postscript file

Question

I have faced one problem. Actually, I'm working on IEEE paper, and they said that I have to convert my .tex files into postscript file

How can I get postscript file? I'm working with WinEdt 8.0 version

Should I convert first my .jpg figures into .eps format by using Photoshop, or it is not necessary step?

For figures, I use the following code:

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[scale=0.3, angle=0]{Files/xxx.jpg}
    \caption[xxx xxxxxx xxxxx.]{xxx xxxxxx xxxxx.}
    \label{fig1}
\end{figure}

Everything work perfect with me .. I can get .pdf file .. But .ps file still I don't how to find it

You need to compile using latex (not pdflatex). Your images have to converted to .ps or .eps using a tool like Imagemagik. You'll get a DVI file which can be converted using dvips. — Johannes_B, Sep 07 '14 at 18:56

I don't know if it would work but you can convert the pdf file to ps. However, that may not be what they want. (I do this and then convert back to pdf as some journal systems won't accept pdf output directly from pdfLaTeX and some printers don't like it either.) On GNU/Linux, you can use pdf2ps or pdftops for this. Not sure about Windows, though. — cfr, Sep 07 '14 at 19:07
@cfr That is a good idea, but chances are high that the journal wants the sources (tex and pictures) for further processing (converting xml and back). — Johannes_B, Sep 07 '14 at 19:17
@Johannes_B Indeed. That's why I said that that may not be what they want. I've only used it to work around things which didn't like the particular variety of PDF produced by pdfTeX. — cfr, Sep 07 '14 at 19:49
I think you must to convert all your jpg files to ps, Photoshop could be one possibility, Imagemagick is better in my experience. — Aradnix, Sep 07 '14 at 21:08
